Residual heat indicator
The hob has a two-stage residual heat indicator for each
hotplate.
If
•
appears in the display the hob is still hot. It may be used,
for example, to keep a small meal warm or to melt cooking
chocolate. As the hotplate cools down further, the display
changes to
œ
. The display remains lit until the hotplate has
cooled sufficiently.
Setting discs
You can set the heat settings and the timer by turning the
setting discs.
You can remove the setting discs. This makes cleaning easier.
You can also remove the setting discs when the hotplate is in
operation. The hotplates switch off after 3 seconds. The
residual heat indicator H/h appears in the display.
If you refit the setting disc during operation, you can make new
settings.
Always place the setting disc in the recess with the high-gloss
side facing down.
Storing setting discs
The setting discs are magnetic. Keep the setting discs away
from magnetic data media, such as video cassettes, diskettes,
credit cards or cards with magnetic strips. The data these
contain could otherwise be wiped. They can also cause
interference in television sets and monitors.
:
For wearers of electronic implants, e.g. pacemakers or
insulin pumps.!
Implants could be affected by magnetic fields. You must
therefore never carry the setting discs in your pockets. They
must be kept at least 10 cm from pacemakers.
Note:
The setting discs are magnetic. Small metal parts which
attach themselves to the underside can scratch the surface of
the glass ceramic and front moulding. Always wipe and clean
the setting discs thoroughly.
